FANTASTIC opening line! (And second line too! Not to mention Snape's thoughts on said first and second lines.) LOL
And then the sarcastic, anti-holiday cheer Snape lines just keep coming. XD I think it's been a while since I last read a Snape whose internal monologue was so very Snape-like. Great characterization and interaction with the rest of the Hogwarts staff there as well. That scene was far more enjoyable than a little bit of set-up for smut has any right to be. ;)
And my, my. What a guilty reaction to three little words whispered behind you, Severus. Could it be... foreshadowing? ;D
(there were limits to how much like his da he was willing to be) -- Love that bit! So true...
YES! I adore the "not an arse that he had access to" remark and the fact that you've written a Snape who's more comfortable with solo sex than having to deal with a partner. (Or maybe that's what he tells himself in order to avoid having to dwell on the fact that he'd probably have quite a bit of trouble finding a willing partner, given his looks and social graces...?) And one who's not really all that sexually motivated in general, really -- although he clearly has the normal drives and then some, what with him being turned on by thoughts of cocks and breasts and bums. This is a Snape I can totally believe.
Hahaha, and there's that candy cane again! Leave it to hormones to cause one to get brilliant (or not-so-brilliant) ideas in the heat of the moment. And kudos to you for not having him use the thing in the predictable way.
And, oh, my god...! HAHAHAHA Seriously, I just laughed so loud I scared the cats. More than once. I always forget that there are so many great lines in your fics that I can't possibly quote them all back to you. I'll just have to settle for saying: fantastic job balancing hot with humorous throughout this tasty little piece.
